★ Maxi Scooter Review - Zontes 350E ★

After selling my BMW C 400 GT a few months ago, I'm now testing some maxi scooters again. Today I'm introducing you to the Zontes 350 E and taking it for a test drive.
Have a safe ride!

Great scooter, thanks for the video!

[@sweetroyal9580]

This manufacturer has released a new model, the 368E, which is now available in China

[@sweetroyal9580]

im in china😆

[@Timothy-ns4qn]

I am a “scooterist” and that scooter must have been designed by a true “scooterist” with the extras and attention to detail. Looks like an incredible value compared to any other scoot in that class. If they showed up in my country I’d be taking a very hard look!

[@jaksakatunaric8573]

Just a small point. I don't know if you know this, but the BMW C400GT is actually a VOGE SR4 MAX 350, also Chinese. In fact, I think they come out of the same factory. The Voge is a bit more expensive than the Zontes because of the fact that it pays BMW some royalties. It was my second choice, in the end I decided to go for the Zontes 350E, smoother, with more load capacity, .... for me, better.

[@Marc.Stones]

I know, both are produced by Loncin in China :-) The Zontes is a good choice! You can see my road trip with the Zontes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqPGmJSNjLCgpMU

[@JoshConnectMedia]

Yes please.. what people don't really know is what you have said. Ironically it's all good and still produced in Great China.

[@labistsepelis4203]

MAN finaly someone with real review without waste time ! iam going to buy my first bike and price of 5400€ in greece is great the best value .. scouters with futures like this you find only at price of 7500€ and more

[@jaksakatunaric8573]

Very good bike. I think the model you have been given for testing is still equipped with a shock absorber for the seat that prevents the second full-face helmet from being fitted (which is what happened to you). This has now been corrected so that you can now carry two full face helmets without any problems and still have space in between. I currently carry two LS2 modular helmets (which take up even more space than a full-face helmet) without any problems.

[@MrTurcao197]

Very nice review. I live in Brazil and I was thinking about this scooter. You helped me to decide. Thank you.

[@Lee-70ish]

Seen a few Zontes bike reviews . Of the Chinese bikes Zontes seem to be about the best for build and reliability

[@wspollack]

Excellent review, Marc. BMW could learn a lot from Zontes, such as the TPMS, more underseat storage, brake lock, etc. etc. These are things that the C 400 (X/GT) could use. (But one more feature I'd like to see on all he maxi-scooters: cruise control, which is found on the latest Kymco AK 550, for instance.) Of course, we in the USA will never see the Zontes, but it's nice to know that some manufacturers are making good products, with useful features, at a decent price. Thanks again, Marc -- C 400 GT and Meteor 350 owner Bill.

[@Marc.Stones]

You are absolutely right Bill cruise control would be a great feature for a touring scooter in the 350cc range. Half the price of the BMW and more features, that’s great. Especially because BMW is also built in China. Cheers Marc

[@rolacook222]

Looking forward to more rider reviews as you go along. Neat scooter. Rola (Oregon / USA)

[@peterhobbs7609]

Looks a really nice package Marc

[@sergiolacueva9443]

Muy buena video prueba. Y muchas gracias por los subtítulos en español. El scooter parece muy bueno por su precio. En España zontes está vendiendo mucho. A mí cada día me gustan más los scooters y maxiscooters. Un saludo enorme y muchas gracias!!👍👏👏

[@markneville8069]

Excellent review, thank you Mark. I think I would buy one of these if they were available in New Zealand

[@marjancomateski6001]

Very good video! In Macedonia cost this scooter 4860€! I have the 350D version and be very very satisfied till now😂

[@Marc.Stones]

Great, the 350 D is even lighter with the same power 💪🏻

[@rolacook222]

Mark: Hoping you have more info / videos, etc., with your Zontes 350E adventures?! Looking forward to your report & thoughts. PS: Know you’re busy with other projects. Best / Rola (Oregon / USA)

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi Rola, I have a lot of videos on my Scooteria channel 👍🏻

[@rolacook222]

@@Marc.Stones Thank you, Marc! Beginning to “catch up” on your rides. Best, Rola👍🏻

[@grimmjow091]

Nice bike sir, and also review is really good also.. New subscribe❤

[@ilyab.5127]

In Thailand it starts at 3600 euro. Significantly cheaper than the XMAX 300 and Forza 350. I am thinking maybe buying it as it offers more than the competitors. The only question is reliability and parts quality as it is a new brand relatively.

[@anonneymous9949]

Wow much cheaper then Malaysia around 5000 euro…

[@propro00]

the problem with zontes scooter is that you can't connect it to an android phone, i have 350d version and i test it with samsung, xiaomi, ... nothing work but with iphone it does, does anyone had this issue too ?

[@retromotorbikes]

Good bang for the buck. 👍

[@memoktc]

how do you mount a phone on this bike?

[@Marc.Stones]

I use a ram mount

[@HuzJorDedi]

Only left glovebox is lockable,the right one is not because of immobilizer.Also steering wheel is adjustable for reach.

[@svenev_73]

.....ich glaube, da bahnt sich eine Romanze an . Viele Grüße 😉

[@Marc.Stones]

😂😂😉 Viele Grüße zurück

[@alanhayward6719]

I've been looking at maxi scooters and hadn't even considered Zontes, but I certainly will now. Can you get Google maps on the screen from your phone?

[@Marc.Stones]

Yes you can mirror the phone screen

[@geo99502]

Hi... Need your honest review... As i am also abt 1.78m tall... And I am still thinking more about the comfort for my pillion.. Which bike is more comfortable... Bmw C400GT Zontes 350E Yamaha Xmax 300 I almost want to make the decisions but I need a person like you who tested all 3 to let me what you feels... That good feeling is the most important part of the decisions 😅 -Goobii (SG)

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi Goobii, in my opinion the Zontes is the most comfortable one, if you are also looking for comfort for the pillion. Second is the BMW also very good seat more stiff. And last is the Yamaha, seat for the pillion is the smallest. Cheers Marc

[@stevienugnugent9986]

Lovely scooter, what's the suspension like, especially at the front shocks. My forza is terrible over any bumps.

[@Marc.Stones]

The suspension feels good to me, handles bumpy roads quite well. Of course it could be better with Showa shocks and fork.

[@stevienugnugent9986]

@Marc.Stones thanks Marc I think it's a problem generally with scooters. My Forza 350 is an excellent motor, just terrible on bumpy roads and manhole covers here in England. I know the ADV 350 is supposedly a lot better? Thanks for your reply. Enjoy your new scooter. I'm not sure if it's available in the UK? I know the 310 is available at a cheap price and warranty, too. Thanks again.

[@Marc.Stones]

I know the roads of England, did a tour with my BMW scooter to the south, and the bad roads made the life with the scooter quite difficult sometimes. The suspension of the ADV 350 is better than the Forza longer suspension travel.

[@johnevans8328]

nice vid your ride your voice very hard to hear...

[@enfield7123]

The problem with scooters in England the skip rats 🐀 take them for joy rides the police bring it back in plastic bags

[@Marc.Stones]

I heard about this problem in England, this is terrible.

[@micheldidier8669]

Allez pour faciliter ton choix Zontes ou Voge 400 ? ….😎

[@Marc.Stones]

Je choisirais les Zontes.

[@micheldidier8669]

Bon choix ,rapport qualité prix.

[@mahmoedghazy1745]

Hi one of my friends just bought this scooter and I'm interested to buy it. however he told me I would be much better with 350T adv. What do you think ? It will be my first ever scooter

[@Marc.Stones]

Make a test ride with both of them to see which one fits better to you 👍🏻

[@FairWeatherMotorcyclist]

Thanks for the review, could you post a link to the foam protection you used please you made a good job of it 👍

[@Marc.Stones]

Hi, which foam protection do you mean?

[@FairWeatherMotorcyclist]

The paint protection

[@Marc.Stones]

[@countbasingstoke]

May I ask why you sold the C400GT? : )

[@Marc.Stones]

I had a rattling noise which really bothered me and I was very dissatisfied with the service from BMW.

[@countbasingstoke]

@@Marc.Stones ah wow that’s not good. I still have my c400. Hopefully nothing happens like that:-/. So your “shopping” for a new scooter then?

[@Marc.Stones]

Yes, I am looking for a new touring scooter :-)

[@countbasingstoke]

@@Marc.Stones do you think you’ll get a parallel twin engine? Or stick to a rumbling single cylinder? :). Those bigger scoots are tempting. But I have to admit. The simplicity and rumble sound of a single is intoxicating:). Ps have you heard or seen videos on the scooter Canonball run in the USA? Looks wild!

[@Marc.Stones]

I think I will go for a 350cc not so heavy and low fuel consumption. 🤙

[@hmoosawi]

Really nice with a lot of features, unfortunately we don't have Zontes in Dubai

[@13thearl]

Will this be comingto the UK?
